"I needed my electrical panel replaced. He took care of everything (permits, coordinating with CMP, etc). He explained the process thoroughly and was prompt in responding to all my questions. The installation looks very clean and well organized. He was very pleasant to work with and his explanations were easy to understand. He worked efficiently and finished before the promised completion time limiting my time without power. While doing the work, he found an additional issue with the door bell transformer and replaced it without charging more. I will definitely call in the future when I need more electrical work done."

"I would have hired this company right away but it turned out that we had a defective dishwasher, not an electrical problem. I was very impressed with Affordable Elecric's immediate response to my request and how nice he was about being willing to assist right away. I will hire him definitely the next time I have an electrical problem."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Auburn, ME

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
